Riparian Seedling Establishment Defined by Sediment Mobilization and Water Availability In a Gravel Bed River
… flow result in eddies. This thesis predicts the establishment success of riparian seedlings as a function of root growth during the “establishment period” delineated by the seed deposition date, and date of sediment mobilization. Seeds must be deposited during the final spring recession so they …

Preliminary quantitative trait loci analysis for biomass traits in Miscanthus sinensis
… heterozygous parents. In addition, a plant establishment period of three years is needed to accurately determine the true phenotypic performance of progeny. Establishing correlations between traits exhibited during the establishment phase and plot yields and developing a marker assisted …

Establishment Method and Cultural Practice Effects on Sports Turf
… soil-based sod on sand-based rootzones for the establishment of sports fields and golf courses is a common occurrence. Furthermore, the use of soil-based sod on sand-based rootzones can lead to potential problems associated with decreased water infiltration, gas exchange, rooting, and turfgrass …

Diversity Relationships in Native, Warm-Season Plant Communities used for Agriculture
… relationships over a three-year establishment period. In 2008, two experiments were established to evaluate the use of native, warm-season plants in forage-livestock systems using a pool of ten native species. The first, a large-scale, three-year, experiment tested three different …

Factors limiting piping plover nesting pair density and reproductive output on Long Island, New York
… with higher foraging rates in the territory-establishment period, but this effect was most likely independent of distance to MOSH. Reproductive output was not apparently related to availability of MOSH to adults or broods, and was limited by predation. Habitat widths, prey abundance, and …

Biomass production using short rotation coppice techniques on two coal spoil tips in South Wales
… stock proof fencing. After an initial one year establishment period a 'maiden cut’ was undertaken to initiate coppicing. The stools were allowed to grow a further two seasons before harvesting. All interior trees were cut down and their wet weight measured. Samples of each species from both …

Effects of Reduced Early Post-Sprigging Nitrogen Application on Bermudagrass Sprig Establishment
… contamination exists during bermudagrass sprig establishment. Since most "improved" bermudagrass varieties are established vegetatively, due to lack of viable seed, turf managers apply large quantities of soluble urea weekly to push growth. During this grow-in, turf managers typically apply 48.8 …

Physical and Hydrologic Responses of an Intensively Managed Loblolly Pine Plantation to Forest Harvesting and Site Preparation
… constantly higher than -25 cm during the study period, which caused groundwater inflow when the surface water level was low. Frequent fluctuation of the surface water level and constant water supply from the groundwater probably explain the high productivity of the study site. Results of the …

Hydrologic and water quality impacts from perennial crop production on marginal lands
… and <em>Miscanthus</em> growth during their establishment periods in the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was improved. Finally, the model was used to evaluate the impacts on hydrologic and water quality processes due to production of switchgrass and <em>Miscanthus</em> on marginal …

Understanding plant water relations and root biomechanics for hydro-mechanical reinforcement of slopes
… biomechanical properties during the early plant establishment of selected woody species, widespread under European temperate climate.<br/>Ten species native to Europe (<em>Buxus sempervirens</em> L.; <em>Corylus avellana</em> L.; <em>Crataegus monogyna</em> Jacq.; <em>Cytisus scoparius</em> (L.) …

Dissecting key biomass traits through traditional QTL mapping, exploring novel functional genomics approaches, and investigating self-incompatibility in Miscanthus
… account for variation related to differences in establishment increased the power to detect QTLs in the two year establishment period. Finally, a dry period in the middle of the 2012 growing season suggested that yield declines may be due to a decrease in tiller diameter. Despite the rapid …
